I'm not aware of any supplicant that processes EAP-Notifications at the time of rejection, and also not aware that an Access Point would encapsulate a Reply-Message into such a notification. Even if there was a supplicant and AP to do that, you couldn't be sure that the end device is actually using that supplicant.

I don't quite understand what you wrote, but one of the changelog for 2.1.11 was Allow EAP-MSCHAPv2 to send error message to client. Is that what you need?

Re: Send response to client
It's even worse than that. Windows XP and Vista supplicants will respond to an EAP notification message (after dropping it on the ground) with the appropriate acknowledgement. The first release of WIndows 7 wouldn't even do that. So if an EAP server sent a Notification message, the state machine would grind to a halt. There was a hotfix, hopefully it was integrated into the patch stream by now. Dave.

Re: Send response to client
ProCurve products used to encapsulate the Reply-Message in an EAP-Notification and send it after sending the EAP-Success packet. Windows and Mac clients ignored the packet (actually Macs printed the contents in one of the log files, which was kinda cool), but WPA_Supplicant took it to mean that the switch wanted to restart authentication (which is technically correct). Anyway, the side effect of this was that every 60 seconds or so, every 802.1X authenticated Linux Box on the network re-authenticated. -Arran On Jun 27, 2011, at 3:35 PM, David Mitton wrote: It's even worse than that.
